Vintage 1980s Gardeur Checked Midi Skirt | Grey Green Plaid, High Waist, Pockets (UK 12-14)

Vintage 1980s Gardeur Checked Midi Skirt | Grey Green Plaid Button Front Skirt with Pockets | High Waist UK 12 14

Description
A beautifully wearable vintage 1980s Gardeur midi skirt in a subtle grey and green check, with a classic button-through front and wonderfully practical pockets.

Cut with a high waist and softly structured shape, the skirt falls into gentle pleats from the waistband, creating plenty of movement without excessive volume. A row of buttons runs down the front, giving it that unmistakable 1980s heritage-inspired look.

The muted grey-green check is particularly versatile and makes this an easy piece for autumn and winter dressing. It's also a lovely example of vintage Gardeur, a German clothing manufacturer particularly known for its well-made trousers and separates.

A proper everyday vintage piece: beautifully made, easy to style and eminently wearable.

Measurements
Approximate garment measurements:
Waist: 30”
Hips: 40”+
Length: 33”

Labelled size: UK 12

The cut is relatively generous through the hips and may suit approximately a UK 12–14, depending on individual proportions and preferred fit. The 30” waist should be used as the primary guide.
Please compare these measurements with a similar garment that fits you well, as vintage sizing can differ considerably from modern sizing.

Condition
Excellent vintage condition.
The skirt has been beautifully preserved, with the fabric, buttons and overall construction presenting very well.
As with all vintage clothing, please study the photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description.

Styling
This is a particularly easy piece to build an autumn or winter outfit around.

Pair it with a fine roll-neck and loafers for a classic 1980s-inspired look, or add a chunky knit and knee-high leather boots for something relaxed and wonderfully autumnal.

The muted grey-green check also works beautifully with chocolate brown, cream, burgundy, camel and forest green.

For a less traditional look, try it with a simple T-shirt, leather jacket and boots — the long pleated silhouette works surprisingly well styled this way.
